D Generations Cup

The D Generations Cup (DGC) is an annual professional wrestling tournament organized by CyberFight's DDT Pro-Wrestling brand. This tournament showcases up-and-coming talents from the company, akin to the Young Drama Cup, last held in 2010.

The inaugural edition, held in 2023, employed a round-robin format, with each participant facing all other wrestlers within the same block in singles matches. The winner of each block was determined via a point system, with two points for a win, one point for a draw, and no points for a loss. On the final day of the event, the winners of each block faced each other to determine the winner of the tournament. The 2024 edition adopted a single-elimination bracket format, followed by a return to the round-robin system in the subsequent year.

History
